    A demat account, the abbreviation for dematerialised account, is a type of banking account which dematerializes paper-based physical stock shares. The dematerialised account is used to avoid holding physical shares: the shares are bought and sold through a stock broker.
    2- Is demat compulsory?
    If you want to trade than demat account is mandatory. If you just want to buy and keep shares, than you can keep as a paper-based physical stock shares (without demat account).

    Dear Copycat,

    Option is a financial instrument that is used to decrease( or increase- eg speculation) risk in the investments. It gives the 'buyer' of the option right but not obligation to buy (call option) or sell(put option) an asset on a particular previously decided date(eg european type option) or any date before expiry date (eg american type option).

    you can obviously read more about it here

    If you have any question pls feel free to ask.

    @ others: my apologies if i made some techical mistake- take it easy on me its my first post ! :-)

    Delisting refers to the practice of removing the stock of a company from a stock exchange so that investors can no longer trade shares of the stock on that exchange.
    Investor should sell the shares in the market before de-listing.

    Yes.
    What is relisting of shares?
    Companies desirous of getting their securities listed on the BSE are required to enter an agreement with the exchange called Listing Agreement, under which they are required to make certain disclosures and perform certain acts, failing which the company may face some disciplinary action, including suspension/delisting of securities. Hundreds of listed companies are now either suspended or delisted for violation of listing norms. Some of these companies have started coming forward for relisting the securities following the market boom in 2007-08. In short, these companies comply with the listing norms and get their shares listed again for trading on stock exchanges.
